The increase indicates a compound growth of 3.2% per year.
The multiplier is given by 100%+3.2% = 103.2% = 1.032

The initial amount of GDP is 577 billion

We are looking to find in how many years since 1985 that the GDP equals to 1.6 trillion, this is  1.6×10³ billion

The formula for a compound growth/decay is given as
A_{n}= A_{o} (Multiplier)^{n}, where A_{n} is the final value and  A_{o} is the intial value.

We are looking to find 'n'

1.6×10³ = 577(1.032)ⁿ
(1.6×10³) ÷ 577 = 1.032ⁿ
1060/577 = 1.032ⁿ ⇒ take log both sides
log( 1060/577 ) = log (1.032)ⁿ
log (1060/577) ÷ log (1.032) = n
n = 19.31 ≈ 19 years

The year when GDP achieves 1.6 trillion is 19 years from 1985, which will be in 2004, providing the increase rates stays the same.

To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34

To find the angle: 
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
